Oh I wish!!

Do the stilettos come with the deal?

My main issue is those legs won’t match my upper body. When I go to the beach in my thong bathing suit everyone will look at my legs and wonder what went wrong with the rest of me!!!!

Where do I get ahold of those pills!!!!

Well maybe you can order the flaming pink opaque body stocking to go with the flaming pink opaque support hose. Then your whole body will look the same and your thong will look fine. :)

They recommended squeezy socks for mine ...

... and set me up with four sessions M R I - directed shots to shrink some of 'em.

I was to walk for a half hour, twice a day, for two weeks ... which I did, and once each day for the next two days.

Woke up the next morning could breathe a little, O.K., then a bit more, some discomfort, which increased as I drew in more air, then pain, till I couldn't stand it.

Headed from bed to living room, to get on phone to learn what to do ...

... but, first things first - visited the bathroom.

No pain to breathe while sitting or standing ... so back to bed ... and without a word of a lie - pain returned while lying!

Visited E R ... after tests, they found "something in my blood" ... gave me a shot, told me to give myself a shot daily for about a week, and put me on daily pill of a dose of rat poison. Seems I'd developed blood clots in the lungs.

When the people giving the M R I - directed shots to shrink some veins heard of that ... the remaining three sessions got scratched, pretty fast: "convenience" is one thing - "life threatening" is a different ball game!

Still on the rat poison, six years or so later ... and, my not being a rat ... appear to have not yet been poisoned.

And ... I'm thankful: blood clots hitting one's heart produce heart attacks, usually resulting in death or a measure of ongoing debilitation.

When they hit one's brain - a stroke, with often undesirable results.

I'm mightily thankful: once my lungs were cleared ... no ongoing unattractive results (except wear three pairs of the squeezy socks, worn daily in sequence and washed every night). Those three pairs have been going for six years, and two pair have needed the occasional bout of darning in the un-elasticized toes and heels - which pleases me mightily, as they cost about $40.00 per pair (with about $10.00 immediate discount rather than pie-in- the-sky points) using store loyalty card, which pleases this frugal fella, let me tell ya!

I'm pretty well able to do all of the things that I could, previously.

(And ... when rats were in the house ... they wouldn't touch the poison that had been designed to have them take leave (of life: thus my house).

Oh, well ... ya win a few ... and ya lose a few!
